As an architect and wheelchair rider, I’ve read your blogs over the years, and from that and your book which our office just got, I can see that you really “get it” when it comes to accessibility.

“Your book, in my opinion, is the authority as a reference resource. I read, re-read and referred back to it many times. It is filled with highlights, underlines and notes… I downloaded your e-books and purchased the Multi-Family Reference Matrices. I just love reading all of your materials, very informative.”
